Arnold Schwarzenegger has attempted to go undercover to prank members of Gold’s gym – but funnily enough, for the man with one of the world’s most recognisable voices, it wasn’t long before he was rumbled.

In fact, Arnie was recognised pretty much instantly by almost everyone he came into contact with, despite his cunning disguise of a moustache, wig and hat.

He can be seen in the video pretending to be a fitness instructor and receptionist at the gym and seems quite happy to hand out advice to those exercising, including one woman, who gets excessive guidance on how much water to drink from the communal fountain.

The Terminator actor pulled the prank in order to help raise awareness for the After-School All-Stars, an American organisation that provides free mentorship, homework help, tutoring and activities to school pupils from low-income families.

Arnie has been involved with the programme for years and is currently involved in a number of its fundraising projects.

One of these projects enters any donor, who gives at least $10 to After-School All-Stars through omaze.com, into a prize draw. The prize is to fly to Los Angeles and drive around with Schwarzenegger himself in his personal Sherman Tank whilst smoking cigars.

The actor premiered the video – which was taken at a Venice Beach, California branch of Gold’s gym – during a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session yesterday.
